I can't figure out how to adjust the arm. The directions say "loosen either knob" but there's only one knob. Am I missing something? This is making me crazy..

There is just a circle dial behind the dock. Loosen it and you can adjust. It is definitely adjustable, you can make it go whichever way you want. I always used
a universal dock before but this thing is bad ass! Not only that, it has a removable insert so you can use it with a case on your phone! I can confirm all the
TPU-Cases cases will fit.
There is only one nob. Im super surprised your having problems with it, the manual should not of been needed. Wonder if yours is defective?

That iGrip link is not the mount it comes with, the one it comes with is adjustable.
Yes, I can see the knob to adjust the tilt. It's the other axis to adjust the height that has me confused. The directions say this is a 270 degree axis, but for me it won't budge.
Edit: after reviewing the manufacturers web site I see either they made a last second change to the design or mine was built incorrectly. Can anyone confirm? Does anyone have two adjustment knobs?

No as stated that link is the mount I'm purchasing for my custom install since I can't find a good way to use the arm that came with it.
Sgtcody only have the one knob. I've tried disassembling the arm to adjust the one you're talking about but no luck. In my Charger the glass is too deep to put it anywhere that won't be in my field of view and still accessible.

I bought this and I love it. I was screwing with this thing for and hour trying to figure out a way to get it to pivot at that point as well. I removed the caps (which is a damn pain) and then you can pull apart the side walls and then rotate it. I am not sure if it was intended that way but it will work. Hope this helps.

how the hell do you remove the caps? that's what i figure too and i have no luck removing the caps even with plier

Didn't know that the 2 lateral knobs/caps can come off. As is, you cannot move the arm ((in the provided photo, knobs/caps circled in red do not come off or move) only the wheel/dial can rotate for adjustment. Is there a way to remove them without breaking it? Thanks.

Use a screw driver on the end, they slide off in one direction only. Once the post is exposed, you'll see that its a square and it fits into the square hole on the base which is why it does not rotate. Takes a bit to get the base arm off but it can be done, and you can change it 90 degrees up or down. It's a horrible design.
I'm thinking the iGrip Mini will be a better solution for my dash mount, the arm actually rotates and it sits a lot lower in profile.
Thanks Evil Bob, will mess with it tonight.

It would have been so much better if they sold the Evo 3D mount separate from the base you put in your car. Would have saved me money, plus they have much better mounts than what comes with the kit.
Cases that fit?
Sorry if a bit off topic here but, I saw someone confirm that TPU cases fit in the dock, can anyone else confirm any others that fit? I have an official HTC silicone one and it won’t fit (even with the dock insert pulled out). Looks like it should go but, just a bit too thick in the corners. I also tried an otterbox silicone case but no go there either…This is aggravating, anyone else having better luck?

I ordered this case a while back, and I absolutely love it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45eeeac5fa
The one I ordered was a little cheaper, and didn't include the lcd protection, but the case is the same. Anyway, I think I paid around 8 bucks or so. I did have the body glove case, drilled a hole for the proximity sensor, but after a while, the case started to catch on the clear plastic sticker on the back of the lcd screen. It also started to catch on the side stickers beside the keyboard. This new case fits extremely well, and has yet to catch on anything. The only grip I have is that it is a little slick, but not enough to deter me. Just thought I'd share.

Its called a hanger hole, its in the manual
http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/tech-specs/
No my plastic cover never came off
Anyone got and idea of how to fix it?
Looks like the holder is part of the phone frame. If the little T-shaped tab broke off, you may be SOL on fixing it. Perhaps you could buy a broken Tilt 2 off eBay (I've seen them) and transfer the part, but taking a phone apart and putting it back together correctly is not an easy task.
I never would have guessed that hole was for a strap or charm, although that's quite apparently what its for. The T-shaped tab under the battery covers sure doesn't look strong enough for the purpose.
never had a hole on mine, whered u get that from?! lol

I use a strap for mine. It works wonderfully!
Wow that's great. Does anybody know where to find a strap that would be good to wear my Tilt2 around my neck please? It would be great for working while wearing a wired headset. Hate keeping it in my pocket and I'm not happy with any of the holsters. Especially that oem one. That sucker will help a guy lose his phone in a hurry...
EDIT; Nevermind. I figured out to search for the words phone and lanyard on ebay. Decisions, desisions.
Memory card lanyards work fine too. I'm using a lanyard for a SanDisk MicroSD adapter for my phone. It works great.
Whoa, that little plastic bit holding the weight of a Tilt 2 on a lanyard or wrist strap? Sounds like tempting fate to me. I never have used a wrist strap on a phone and this definitely doesn't inspire me to try it now, lol. HTC should have built something a little more substantial than that into the frame if they wanted it to be really useful as a hanging point for the phone. I have been wondering where the strap on the HTC accessory page was supposed to attach, now I know.

You are correct. It does look cheesy. However, so far so good. I do think it is important to be certain that the string of the lanyard is seated to the base of the "T" opening really well. Fortunately that is easy to pull off. Also I don't think I'd swing it around by the lanyard with the cover off. After a few weeks of using a wrist strap and a neck lanyard I don't see any signs of stress on the plastic. So maybe it will hold out.
So I've noticed that with the edges of the defender case being raised as they are, they can inhibit your swyping ability if you've got big fingers and are trying to use a word that has the letter P in it. almost impossible to get it to register without mashing your finger against the edge of the case
edit: my bad, shoulda put this in accessories!
Yea it does. For me the 1 is a bigger pain, gotta "shave" some off I think

This is what I did with a dermal tool to make my Otterbox Defender easier to use when I'm swyping. The edges where the keyboard is located was "sanded" down so swyping has been a lot easier for me since the mod to the holster. I also dremaled out a hole so I can access the volume rocker without having to remove the phone from the holster. And I thought the tab to remove the phone from the holster was protruding too much so I also dremaled it down. Now it's slightly harder to remove the phone from the holster, but I don't intend to remove the phone from the holster very often.

Well, since it's taking so long for both Asus and 3rd parties to come with accessories for the transformer, I decided to take advantage of some foamcore scraps I had, and made me a "dock" for videochat, video watching and gaming. I say it's a "dock" because it is simply a bunch of foamcore boards, paper and glue (I'll probably seal it, sandpaper it, and paint it)
Right now, it's very handy, for using the tablet without having to hold it. It's angled, at a very confty angle, and doesn't get in the way (the keyboard dock, while awesome, gets in the way)
I had the images in my Dropbox gallery, but had to attach them because I'm a new user though a long time lurker. The good thing about putting them in the dropbox would be that I could add and update the pics at any time, without having to come back to the post, and edit it. Oh, and the picstures would be clearer, since I'm taking them with a 12 MPixel cam. Well, at least it keeps linkspam out of XDA
I must admit I am thinking of making my own dock via the use of a decorative plate stand (you know the ones, fold open to 90 degrees, have a lip at the bottom)
Like this one

Yes I can, but I agree that it's not for everybody. What I do, is having the apps grouped spacially. 90% of the apps I use are on that screen. I really don't like going to the app drawer
you can always use a "folder type" system like smart shortcuts so u can categorize apps into "folders".
The plate idea is cool but ya might want to check out the arkon stand. same concept but its collapsible.

I just put it on there upside down and let the screen rotate 180 degrees so I can plug in the charger up top. I can also put books of various sizes on the back end, to adjust screen angles.
@carrrnuttt - lol, thats brilliant

I've got one of those and I have to say it's not very good when you've got the Transformer oriented the normal way (camera at the top) because the flap that covers the bottom (Dock connector) doesn't hold well so the tablet slides down quite a bit. Great as a standard case for holding, and having with the camera at the bottom, but not so great with you have it stood with the camera at the top.

I have this case and it works perfectly. Super snug fit, no slippage, anyway, just thought i would throw that out there. I am happy with mine.
Found a way to charge mine while it is the right way around in my home made dock too.
The case hooks onto the edge of the dock leaving enough gap to plug in the charger
The plastic dock is from my GFs laptop, supposed to be a stand for that, and the thing I bent into a pyramid is a leather place mat

Maybe mine was an early model and wasn't designed too well.
I've been Googling, eBaying, and Amazoning (last fictional verb sounds kinda cool) for a common, flat case for my Tab 2 7.0.
It has become my number one remote control, so you can probably understand how uncomfortable a flip case is, adding an extra step every time I want to change a channel, or having a cover hanging (why in the world are 95% of the cases are now "folio"?!). Also, most cases either block the IR transmitter entirely, have some part obstructing it partially, making it mandatory to aim with "the" angle towards my TV set.
I have found a few silicon cases on eBay, but they have an S line, or weird X across the whole thing, that just make the device look fugly to me. No offense if someone likes it or has it, as we know, everyone has different taste.
I'd like to just get a regular, non-flip, non-folio, non-X-or-any-character-of-the-alphabet-drawn, plain cover, that protects the rear of my device, and doesn't obstruct the IR blaster at all. How hard can it be? The perfect fit for me would be a flat, matte black rubber thingy, with a hole where the blaster is... so simple, and inexistent! Maybe even better, a hard case.
Anyone found something, somewhere?

I tried out the S curve case that was made for the GTab Plus and it fit horribly. It's too bad that the Gtab 2 isn't popular enough to have more cases. I was hoping for a Cruzerlite case, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Why not just get one of these cheap tpu style cases and just cut the tabs off that hold the cover?

I agree that Otterbox is pricey. I also hate the frame around the screen on the front.
Why not just get one of these cheap tpu style cases and just cut the tabs off that hold the cover?

That's exactly what I planned on doing if I couldn't find anything... get rid of the cover, and/or punch a hole for the IR sensor on the ones that are designed for P3100.
What about this one...

Says "P3100", but there's a 7.0 Plus in the pictures... who knows!
Got one, and it fits perfect! I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
PS: Anyone has tried matte/antiglare screen protectors? Been thinking about one, but not really convinced.
Try the Capdase silicone case for Tab 7.0 plus. Although mine is the folio type, (silicone case with IR blaster slot + leather folio) their plain silicone (w/o the leather case) seems exactly what you're looking for. Just plain flat black silicone, no x or s or whatever. just plain flat.

I've been Googling, eBaying, and Amazoning (last fictional verb sounds kinda cool) for a common, flat case for my Tab 2 7.0.
It has become my number one remote control, so you can probably understand how uncomfortable a flip case is, adding an extra step every time I want to change a channel, or having a cover hanging (why in the world are 95% of the cases are now "folio"?!). Also, most cases either block the IR transmitter entirely, have some part obstructing it partially, making it mandatory to aim with "the" angle towards my TV set.
I have found a few silicon cases on eBay, but they have an S line, or weird X across the whole thing, that just make the device look fugly to me. No offense if someone likes it or has it, as we know, everyone has different taste.
I'd like to just get a regular, non-flip, non-folio, non-X-or-any-character-of-the-alphabet-drawn, plain cover, that protects the rear of my device, and doesn't obstruct the IR blaster at all. How hard can it be? The perfect fit for me would be a flat, matte black rubber thingy, with a hole where the blaster is... so simple, and inexistent! Maybe even better, a hard case.
Anyone found something, somewhere?

Do the corners of that case create a bit of a bevel/lip where they clamp on the tab? In other words, when you put the tab face down on a desk/table, is there a space between the screen and desk/table or is it flush?

I prefer the matte over the clear screen protector. The clear one gets sticky at times, the matte is always smooth and you don't have to worry about hairline scratches and reflections in your screen.

Sorry I haven't taken the pictures! Yes, there is a little space.

I hadn't thought of that, you're right. What about color loss?

Well that's a little compromise. Color is not as sharp and bright as the clear one but not by a big margin.

I guess it's worth a try. I'll get a matte screen cover and see how it goes. Good input, thanks!
Now, the long overdue pictures . Since the back surface is mostly flat (that was the idea), I concentrated mostly on showing how it fits the tablet. My apologies for the narrow depth of field... unfortunately I didn't have my tripod's plate with me, so I had to take the pictures handheld, and the only way to get a steady shot was with a large aperture.
This is the general look of it:

Profile. Love the way it looks. Really cool match for the tab's back color.
Opposite angle.

Dealextreme tends to be somewhat slow compared to individual sellers from Ebay, I believe this is because DX is the "middleman" liasing between customers who place orders and the suppliers who advertise their products whereas on Ebay, the sellers are the suppliers who respond directly to customer orders.
